Re: Just general surfing stuff

Yeh, he, or at least the board couldn’t hold a continuous line/curve for long.

Re: Midlengths

My 6’5 rhythm sticks just went amazing at 2-3ft point.
Probably as close to a 1 board quiver as I’ve had.
Reckon could handle 2-8ft and not be too bothered about wanting a different board.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Getting a park in Byron is by far the hardest part. The Pass has been insane all week. But I've been happy surfing chunky, side-shore Lennox. Amazing how few bother when there’s clean waves at the pass and gatta. On sunday arvo I paddled out at the local, a southish facing break. Pretty solid, work...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Nar, you can do it in the pool too if you’re on the ball.
Maybe not set 1

Re: Where did you surf today ?

I sprained my AC joint landing sideways on the inside reef there. Bloody design fault, I say. I was on my way to the pass for the early this morn but noticed the wind was SW so went out at the point instead. Stayed clean for all of 15 minutes but was fun nonetheless. Changed the box fin out in the 6...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Sometimes.
Though I wouldn’t call it a hard breaking wave.
But if you can’t read a wave and/or position yourself on a wave you can be a danger to yourself and others out there for sure.

I always identify the kooks and avoid as much as possible having them take the wave before me.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Signing waivers usually means close to jackshit in these cases. There is a condition though, that if staff deem you're not capable of surfing that session, they will remove you from the tub. If he was clearly a kook, and wasn't asked to get out, yeah the pool might be in a spot of bother. I’ll admi...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

Urbnsurf are saying he was a kook in the advanced setting. Urbnsurf denies the business is unsafe and says Mr Nolan failed to take reasonable care for his own safety, did not pay attention to his surroundings and chose to surf in an advanced session “when he knew or ought to have known this was beyo...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

I’ve surfed intermediate, advanced and advanced turns. I don’t consider myself an advanced surfer, but have no trouble surfing those settings. The amount of people out in the advanced sessions that I don’t consider anywhere near even an intermediate skill level is pretty crazy. My last session a guy...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

I don’t know the outcome but I think it’s bullshit if he wins. There’s a shallow bit of concrete to make it barrel. If you want to surf the barrel setting, you may hit the concrete with significant force. Simple in my eyes. There’s a waiver to sign and they re-enforce the dangers pre paddle out and ...

Width and thickness.
I think I’m about 177cm and 80 kegs.
If it was 19.5, 2.5 be perfect.

Re: post your modern day sickness

Yeh, all I meant was that it’s just designed with that type of wave in mind and there’s heaps of those waves in the ocean too.

Re: post your modern day sickness

Well I’m sure there’s been heaps of them.
And they’ll go good in the ocean too.
I bet Kelly has had a bunch for his pool.
There’s the LSD Noa Chlorine that seems pretty popular on the north coast and Gold Coast.

Re: post your modern day sickness

This one is single, double, single exit though.
Maybe changed it up after testing his.
Feels like it’s PU with epoxy.

Re: post your modern day sickness

So many bargains on the 2nd hand market at the mo. Picked this up, completely mint condition for $250, no haggle. Probably a tiny bit big but couldn’t pass it up at the price. Not sure if it’s a twin+1 or thruster. https://i.imgur.com/G3AGam8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/RoU166D.jpg https://i.imgur.com/V...
